BRANTLY NAITONAL CHAMP. University of Florida graduate Keith Brantly pulled away from a pack of three runners and sped the final three-quarters of a mile to win the Asbury Park (N.J.) 10-Kilometer Classic and become the national 10K champion. Brantly, 25, of Gainesville, finished in 28:47, just 8 seconds off his record time set in the 1985 Classic. In winning the race, Brantly also captured the 1987 national championship for men's 10-kilometer road racing.
